If you only need the current battery percent and perhaps the state of ACLine you can use dzHW.library or the systemstate library.
If you additionally need voltage, current power consumption etc. there is no (currently released
) library which expands this info.Some time ago I have written such a library for playing around with. It only works on the device (with Dummy for desktop). If you really need the info I can release this library but currently I have no time to write a help file but usage is really simple.
I would be very interested in experimenting with this library, if it really gives current current information (as it were!), to see what impact the backlight, GPS etc have.

Ok, this has the same functionality as my library. Andrew, are you planning to clean it up and release it? Then I won't release my library.
Yes. I intended to add what I could for desktop/laptop and then release it properly with source and a help file documenting the various return values.

With this library you have developed, will this enable you to check the status of battery info on PDA device or is it just desktop etc..
Im wanting to display details such as this windows mobile app WMMiniBattery freeware for Windows Mobile Phone., my app is a battery monitor for solar charge monitoring, on normal battery monitors this only shows Voltage and battery status, but i want to show the actual amperage (mA,mAH, and temperature etc over time, sort of like a graph plot etc for actual charge rates.
Hope this is clear.
Take a look at agrahams example. My library just has the same data as it calls the same interface function as andrews. This library will only work on device but not on all devices. It depends on the manufacturer what info the battery driver supports. I even found out that the documentation of the API-function is sometimes different from the reality.
